New Metallica song "Day That Never Comes"

[Skinny Viking]

Ok so just heard this on the radio ...

gotta say, I liked it ... actually, it was probably the most badass tune I've heard from them since "Justice"

I would say the whole 1st half of the tune is a solid cross between Black album/Justice

after that it goes into some of the most progressive stuff I've heard from them. Very very Justice-like with some older elements and (dare I say?) a more european sound to everything (I've missed this the most since the release of Black album)

Very very promising

I'm actually getting a good feeling here

 

[Virgil.]

Why, oh why does James insist on ending every line with an "ahhhh!"

I'll-ahhhhh... say-ahhhh, this sounds a lot better than st. anger-ahhhhh!

Who's-ahhh with-uhh me-ahhh?!?

 

[jhrv]

I like it!

 

[Skinny Viking]

Its him, not much you can do to change it ... I find it to be a very unimportant thing really, doesn't bother me at all

lotta vocalists do this. I believe even Mr.Walkyier was quite the "-Uhh!" kind of singer

Seriously though, I don't know why people complain about that in his singing if they pretty much expect it already

my only complaint from what I heard and maybe its just the internet & crappy computer speakers ... damn that snare sounded loud - but good!

Check out Matt Barlow if you wanna hear the " ahh" after every line.

seems like the boys did a good job....now lets wait for the other tunes!

More like a solid cross between Black/Load/Reload, then the second half is like from the first four albums

I'll believe this when I hear it. And I'm not paying for it. I'm stealing the shit.

Interesting... why is there no MP3 of this song though?

Yeah maybe that too ... my 1st thought was to say it has a bit of "Justice" in there because it reminds me of "One"

Cheers!

I don't like it.....i see the effort that went into it trying to recapture the old style Metallica, it kind of reminds me of One....then it sounds like Kill em All towards the end. Personally I hate the guitar sound(wish they stuck to their traditional Mesa sound) guitars sound scratchy and harsh through my speakers...and the snare drum/kick sound like an AJFA kinda vibe. The riffs seem like they were thrown in there like St Anger and have no direction...just play something fast and throw it in there.

A lot of the riffs on the old albums sound like they were just thrown in there too. Plus this is a shize assed quality clip anyway, and I don't know how anyone could judge the mix from this.

I'm just not feeling it. I'm beyond caring about the "-ah" embellishments - I just plain old hate his vocal style entirely. I wish he would stop trying to sing like that and just go back to his former approach.

I think there are some pretty cool bits in this song, but on the whole it's still a disappointment to me.

 

[LydonB]

I really didn't enjoy this. Lars' drumming in some spots seemed really weird to me as well.

actually their myspace page is streaming a pretty high quality version of the song...best quality I've heard yet.

i hope that the version of myspace is just a radio edit.. cause it sound fucking saturated!! ..
